The latest SEND Feedback Event ‘You Said We Did’ is being held on Thursday July 3 from 9.30am to 1pm at Jarrow Focus.
The purpose of the feedback events is to offer an opportunity to parents and carers of children and young people with SEND in the borough to have their voices heard.
It is an opportunity to improve services across our local area by bringing together key stakeholders across education, health and care and provide a listening platform to ensure that we are continually making progress to secure the best outcomes for children and young people.
The event is being held within the Theatre Space of Jarrow Focus, Cambrian Street, Jarrow, NE32 3QN. There is free parking available in the Morrisons car park opposite the centre. Lunch and refreshments will be provided.
Organisers said that the previous feedback event indicated that parents and carers would like to be given more information regarding services that they can go to for support.
In response, next week’s event will include a SEND Local Offer showcase attended by support services from the local area. There will also be top table discussions with senior leaders on the following themes: EHCPs and SEN Support; Mental Health; Therapies and Post-16 Adult Social Care.
There will be an opportunity for a Q&A and if parents and carers would like to submit questions before the event this can be done on the booking form on the link below.
